I've got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy
Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes, oh-oh
When the whistle blows, I've gotta go
Lordy, lordy, I think I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues.

The Brocken is a hill in the north of Germany. Because of the location in the North German lowlands, there is a special climate. So in winter, when the sun is shining, it’s an amazing place for tourists. You can ride with the steam train in 90 minutes from Wernigerode up on the top of the Brocken. Also the ride on the train through the landscape is spectacular.
Down around the corner, half a mile from here
See them long trains run, and you watch them disappear
Without love, where would you be now
Without love.....

Finally a day with sunlight. No luck finding any wildlife but at least I was not hit by a train.
Normally run as a small train ride through the Mail Rail tunnels, part of the network has been converted to allow maintenance of these trains. As we can see in the distance the tracks have been raised allowing access to the underside of the trains.
The Mail Rail tunnels were used to transport mail all around London on a network of automated underground electric trains. It opened in 1927, and only ceased service in 2003.
This image is best experienced with 'Alone in Kyoto' on loud..
A million thanks to ʏoni, sᴏᴏ and *Rwah for their help to make this photo happen!

long black train
josh turner
There's a long black train
Coming down the line
Feeding off the souls that are lost and crying
Rails of sin only evil remains
Watch out brother for that long black train
Look to the heavens
You can look to the skies
You can find redemption
Staring back into your eyes
There is protection and there's peace the same
Burnin' your ticket for that long black train
'Cause there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
There's an engineer on that long black train
Making you wonder if your ride is worth the pain
He's just a waitin' on your heart to say
Let me ride on that long black train
But you know there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
Well I can hear the whistle from a mile away
It sounds so good
But I must stay away
That train is a beauty making everybody stare
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere
But you know there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
I said cling to the father and his holy name and don't go ridin' on that black train
Yes watch out brother for that long black train
That devil's a drivin' that long black train

A view from the Nana BTS station. The BTS is an elevated train transit system in Bangkok and is not to be confused with the Bangtan Boys, South Korean popular boy band also known as BTS! I might add that it's a cheap and excellent way to get around this city known for it's horrendous traffic jams.
I was bemoaning the fact that I've never been in the right place at the right time to photograph this train. Then, there it was, racing to Sheringham. It's the North Norfolk Railway, known as the Poppy Line. Straight from the camera
Après avoir franchi le col de Pierrefitte, la circulation spéciale "Halloween" se dirige vers la gare de Lugarde (15).
An early morning commuter train heads into the station in Newcastle, Australia, in a photo now dated by the passage of time. The train line has been torn up, the corridor turned over to developers, and trams now run on the adjacent streets. It's called progress, but I have other words for this kind of urban vandalism and conversion of public assets to private commercial advantage.
“Train, train, coming ‘round, ‘round the bend
‘Round, ‘round the bend
Train, train, coming ‘round, ‘round the bend
‘Round the bend
Well, it took my baby, but it never will again
Never will again…” Mystery Train
Once the train completes work at Yulee and Fernandina Beach, it'll return to Waycross in the late afternoon as the A773.
In the foreground is old US Route 17, used at the time (and now) as a fishing pier. Hiding behind leader 3136 is the bridge tender's cabin. As an interesting operating note, this was a "one-manpower" bridge. Opening it for river traffic entailed walking to the center of the span, inserting a long wrench-like tool into a gear in the deck, and walking in circles until the span rotated into the clear. Hell of a way to make a living!
Color Efex's Black and white Solarizarion + light toning
The original image was taken in the afternoon. The buildings in the background were blurry (on purpose, I was aware that the train was moving), and the background was dark red with greenish areas. Rails were brown and fuzzy.
My first attempt was to turn it to black and white. Rails were nicer but building were quite white and blurry.
I accidentally applied Solarization to the color image and the result was quite nice. It looks very dramatic, like Film Noir. Solarization provides a much nicer mysterious background and floods rails and seat with light.
